In 1999, the PlayStation gave us one of its quirkiest mascots with Tiny Tank, a wisecracking little war machine with a big mouth and an even bigger arsenal. Developed by AndNow and Appaloosa Interactive, and published by Sony Computer Entertainment, this oddball action game mixed third-person shooting with goofy humor—basically “Saturday morning cartoon meets Metal Gear (but dumber and louder).”

You play as Tiny, a yellow tank built to fight off rogue machines in a future where humanity’s survival depends on one sarcastic hunk of metal. Armed with swappable weapons and a snarky personality, Tiny blasts his way through enemy robots while cracking jokes the whole time. The mix of explosive combat and tongue-in-cheek comedy makes it one of the more memorable hidden gems in the PS1 library.

Why should you buy retro games like this one?

1. A cult-classic PS1 action title with a hilarious wisecracking protagonist.
2. Third-person shooting mixed with arcade-style mayhem.
3. One of Sony’s strangest and most underrated exclusives of the era.

If you’re stacking your PlayStation collection, Tiny Tank is a must-own for fans of quirky action titles. Loud, funny, and full of explosions, it’s a forgotten gem that proves not every PS1 hero needed spiky hair and a giant sword. And yeah—buy retro games on Retro Games eXchange, because even sarcastic little tanks deserve shelf space.
